Null usually means "no signal" but don't know in your case as you do not say if you are only getting the notification...and still getting the message?...or not getting the message?...or if it is happening to just one contact?...happening all the time?...or just sometimes?...etc.
Iphone empty text message with no sender details or contact attached
If you restart the device, does it go away? See something similar with work device for a user some time ago. A message they couldn't delete with an old timestamp. This turned out to be just an OS glitch, reboot of the device cleared it. It sounds like the app is trying to access something that is no longer there. More on reddit.com

r/techsupport on Reddit: Iphone empty text message with no sender details or contact attached
January 4, 2025 -
My partner received a blank text on her iPhone 11 this morning, it has no number or contact attached and no details other than the below text. It's sent her anxiety levels through the roof, I'm thinking it is just a glitch as her phone is now 5+ years old. Do you think it could be anything to worry about. Otherwise texts and imessage.are working fine..
text: ' the system cannot provide the required information the system cannot provide the required information because it has expired or does not exist '
Any help would be great, all the googling I have done so far hasn't turned up much info on this particular message...
Thanks

Answer (1 of 2): Null is essentially absence of data. So I am guessing the person was offline or there was a glitch in the server.

Ahh I have the same problem! Obviously not one of the popular problems on these forums since I don't see a lot of posts. So for me, text forwarding was working perfectly but now experiencing same issue after having to erase settings on iPhone to fix another issue from a wonky app. Text message forwarding option shows up on iPhone with toggle switch for each device, but when attempting to connect on Mac, message app opens, but no popup is displayed. When attempting to connect on an iPad it gives: "...enter the code "(null)" on your iPhone now."I've tried logout/login on iMessage all around. Nothing. I've tried logout/login to iCloud login all around. Nothing. I've tried resetting network settings on iPhone. Nothing.(Power cycled each device in between logout/logins.)Tried disabling bluetooth on all devices and repeating. Nothing.Tried disabling wifi (on iPhone only) and bluetooth (all devices) and repeating. Nothing.Continuity is very much working on the devices as Copy/Paste, Phone Calls, etc. are all function perfectly.Running Console on Mac when attempting to pair devices (the enable text message forwarding from iPhone) shows a very clear (and consistent) "Decryption Error" from the identityservicesd library, and public/private decryption failed 😟 (yes it includes a frowny face, which is really how I know I'm in trouble). It seems like a key/pointer/something changed/corrupted/who knows, as a result of the reset and now I'm not sure how to get the devices to acknowledge the change or at least look in the same place. Is there a way to reset/update public/private keys for devices for this type of activity? I'm reluctant to start randomly deleting keys from the keychain access (I think I read someone suggested that somewhere). Since I'm a sad newbie to the whole Mac stuff I'm not really sure what to do anymore short of full wipe of everything. Not even sure that would solve the problem if restoring things from backups. Help!

I recently did a system update and stopped receiving my texts. Kept getting "(null)" verification code when trying to enable text message forwarding. After hours trying logging in logging out, I message, and anything else I could think of. I read a post and sent a text to an old contact that had an Android device. It came back not delivered. I then went back to enable my text message forwarding and it sent me an actual code. Receiving and sending all my texts again.

Hey everyone,
Today I was received 2 text messages from my number that just said "null." This was right after I sent 2 text messages which seemed to go through just fine. I was wondering if anyone knows what this means? I recently blocked a number, so I'm not sure if that is related.
Thanks in advance!
